1946

Information from Paradox interactive By Rare Han(2012)

In early 1946

the Cabinet relocated to Yogyakarta, further inland.

The few Dutch military units present in the region were hastily organized from former members of KNIL who had been Japanese POWs during the war. Once British shipped first battalions to Java they soon gained notorious reputation as triggerhappy, undiscplined forces that caused the already hard-pressed British Army further trouble by unnecessarily provoking the locals and acting unprofessionally.

Meanwhile the negotiations were not getting anywhere, as Sjahrir was evasive on most issues.

As the British troops extented their control over the region and the smaller Dutch colonial units were finally arriving to the area as well, the following incidents made the British strongly critizice the Dutch commander, General van Oyen. Attempts to make van Mook to relieve him and other old Guard-leaders led to nothing,

as the stressed Governor made it clear that his own position was already heavily criticized at London. Meanwhile van Oyen and his chief of staff Helfrich held the view that the nationalists had little real mass supported and that Dutch rule could be reimposed through military action.

The British were especially critical towards Helfrich, suggesting that his solution to most problems amounted to “shoot the lot.” Meanwhile more reasonable Dutch leaders such as Internal Affairs director van der Plas and General W Schilling all reported to London that they were loosing control of the situation and that a military solution was impossible.

As much as he had irritated them earlier, British now realized that the strained relations within Dutch leadership were seriously threatening the position of van Mook, whom the British considered to be the sole Dutch representative with enough prestige to broker a peaceful settlement to the dispute –

at least long enough for the British forces to withdraw. At a meeting on December 6th in Singapore Mountbatten stated that he would not allow Dutch troops to enter Java until their government would agree to negotiate with the Indonesian Republic.

This was (not coincidentally) van Mook’s primary goal, and he once again flew to London to further negotiate with the rest of the Dutch Government.

There the mood was pessimistic, as the prospects of liberating Netherlands were fading fast as Britain and USA were already negotiating with German representatives in Zürich. Humiliated van Mook was castigated as a traitor and an oriental despot who had been conspiring to destroy everything the Kingdom had left by negotiating with the Indonesian fascist rebels without consulting the queen and government.

But despite this incident van Mook still had solid position, and finally the government agreed a more liberal formula as the basis for future discussions with the nationalists. Bitterly the government was forced to accept that the existing civil affairs agreement gave overall control to Mountbatten and the British, and that without merchant fleet to transfer troops and economy to support them in Indies, they had no choise but to accept Indonesia´s right to secede from the Kingdom.

As WWII drew to an end, the Dutch government hastily replaced van Oyen, Helfrich and other members of their old guard that had caused so much trouble during the winter. By the beginning of 1946, the most pressing issue was Dutch insistence that their remaining troops in Europe should be brought to Indonesia – a matter of urgency in their eyes if they were to establish control and so carve out a bargaining position for future talks. Meanwhile Mountbatten still viewed the arrival of more Dutch troops as a recive for further violence. Ultimately the British still agreed to permit the deployment of the Dutch Marine Brigade if van Mook requested it.

Dutch marines in the Great East. Even when he had gained permission to grant independence to Indonesia, Lieutenant Governor General van Mook still wanted to enter the final negotiations from a position of force and reoccupy as much of the gormer East Indies with Dutch troops as possible.

Meanwhile van Mook had returned to East Indies, and was busily trying to reassert his control over the situation after securing the permission to start his ambitious scheme. While populous Java and Sumatra were bound to be out of reach of Dutch capabilities – it would be impossible to find more than 30 000 Dutch troops for the East Indies in early 1946 –

other areas of the former empire could be retaken with minimal cost. This meant concentration on Borneo and the Great East, where reoccupation was already occurring under Australian tutelage. Van der Plas reported that it would take no more than 5000 – 8000 soldiers to establish Dutch authority in these regions, and successful reoccupation of the other territories would finally give the Dutch a more secure foothold in the region, thus giving them possibility to pursue a more long-term approach to the Javanese nationalist threat if necessary.

The replacement of Australian troops in Borneo, Celebes, the Moluccan Islands and the lesser Sunda Islands took place with little opposition, but on Bali and Celebes the small garrison forces were soon met by local partisan attacks organized by local pemuda supporters of the Republic. As the Germans and Allies negotiated about new status quo in Europe, the Dutch were hastily trying to secure their political future in Indonesia. Both sides knew that the upcoming negotiations would be crucially important for the future of whole Southeast Asia.

Comment

A good update. Indonesia certainly is a big mess, but you did a good job breaking it all down

Although I have no idea how the Dutch can seriously think they can hold on

I would expect the British or Americans to step in more forcefully, since it should be obvious from the start that the few Dutch exiles have no chance in hell to restore colonialism to a country of millions who have tasted independence.

In fact that is may one quip with this story and the one about the Free French… neither the French exiles nor the Dutch exiles would realistically be able to hold on to the colonies. Algeria would realistically have become an early version of Rhodesia – white minority against the indigenous majority, with tons of weapons flowing into the country from all sides and turning the country from a bad case of bush war into a nightmare of civil strife rather sooner than later. As the French exiles try to keep the heart of their empire under control, the remainder of their colonial empire would slip away quickly.

Realistically there would have been no way for France to hold on to Algeria or any part of the Maghreb. And after losing there, French Africa would just politely ask the French to leave, and that would be the end of the French colonial empire. The story is really giving the Free French a much better development that would have been realistic, had something like the Zürich accords happened in history.

Same with the Dutch… there really isn’t much they can do, the Indonesians know there is no help coming for the Dutch so Mook et al will have to relocate to Surinam or Curacao rather sooner than later. It’s not even that there are so few Dutch. The British ran their Indian Raj with less than 10,000 administrators at any time. The thing is, the Indians knew that those 10,000 had the backing of the home country, while the Indonesians (and Maghrebi) actually know that there is no home country to help the Dutch and French exiles. That goes a long way in eroding their chance to hold on

All true. Still, remember that the Indonesian independence is only months old and the WWII is still ongoing. Once it becomes clear that Holland is part of New Europe for good, things will definitively change in former East Indies.

Ah okay thanks for the clarification. I had forgotten that the war was not actually over in 1945 when the Indonesian and the first Algerian story updates take place.

If the war in Europe is still going on, especially with the Dutch riding the coat tails of the victorious US and with Dutch liberation being a possibility (from Indonesian point of view), it makes sense that the Indonesians are kind of not completely behind the independence struggle. The Dutch could still come back after all.

However after 1946 both the Dutch and the French efforts ought to collapse like a house of cards, and I still think Algérie Francaise would die a painful death before the decade is over. AOF and AEF would IMHO quickly follow suit, even though on the surface the French are still unchallenged there…

I don’t see the remaining French exiles as determined / idealistic enough to try and keep together this pretense of an empire. Losing Algeria would be losing one war too many…

I think they would opt to leave Africa altogether and relocate to Canada, Cayenne or New Caledonia, rather than wait until the Africans throw them out. Of course a few adventurers who have no future outside of Africa would probably stay… maybe Afrique Central will have a white Emperor instead of a black one?

Oeang Republik Indonesia

Series 1, ‘1945’

The first ‘Indonesian rupiah’ bank notes bore the date of the proclamation on new Indonesian money, 17 October 1945, under the authority of the “Republik Indonesia”, and were apparently intended for issue on February 1, 1946, but due to the capture of most of the notes, only a tiny number escaped at this time.

The circulation began in earnest in Java from October 10, 1946. The notes were in denominations of 1, 5, and 10 sen notes, plus ½, 1, 5, 10, and 100 rupiah notes.

Soon afterwards, on February 10, 1946, the first official meeting of Indonesian and Dutch representatives took place under
the chairmanship of Sir Archibald Clark Kerr

Therefore the Fourth Regiment, held a security measure Tangerang. Daan John Major as Chief of Staff of the Regiment, Major immediately called Daan Mogot and Major Wibowo, who had been the liaison officer to the Fourth Regiment, Tangerang.

First it was the second officer military police officer (Military Police Corps / CPM now). This was done to preempt the Japanese not to weapons that have been surrendered to the allies handed over to the Dutch Colonial Army-NICA which time it had reached in Sukabumi to Jakarta.

Inside Java such groups as the perjuangan or struggle group supported by Tan Malaka came into conflict with the diplomasi line supported by the fledgling Republican government under Sutan Sjahrir.

More than 133 groups including socialist youth groups or pemuda, the communists and, for a time, the Muslim party Masjumi fell in line. Around the slogan of “merdeka atau mati,” independence or death, the struggle front was uncompromising in rejection of a Dutch restoration.

In February 1946

they demanded the resignation of the Sjahrir cabinet. While Sukarno had been attracted to the struggle camp he now kept his distance.

nformation from Paradox interactive By Rare Han

From Linggadjati to Makassar – birth of the USIThe Round-Table Conference of Makassar.

The fact that the Republic had survived its first months of existence gave it a credibility that the rest of the world could not ignore.

Battle lines were drawn as national sympathies through the globe were rising to either support the Indonesian independence or the cause of the Dutch exiles.

For some, such as the USA, the choise remained surprisingly complicated despite their official rhetoric, and thus Washington tried initially to avoid taking sides altogether.

Ultimately the fact that their wartime Allies were now ranged against them doomed the Dutch attempts to restore their colonial regime, and the effort that was already plagued with lack of necessary economical, military and political resources came to an end.

Trotskyits, Jihadis and the threat of peace in Europe

By February 1946

the position of Dutch exiles in the East Indies was turning from precarious to critical.

They had next to none viable military strength and even the small forces they had were ultimately Allied auxiliaries, armed and thus also supplied by either Britain or the US. It was increasingly clear that even if they could transfer all of their remaining troops to Java, it would be impossible to dislodge the Republic by force.

As the British troops now increasingly confined themselves to keeping order in Batavia and war in Europe was coming to an end as negotiations in Zürich slowly made progress,

the situation in East Indies was finally ripe for diplomatical solutions. Sukarno and Sjahrir were hard-pressed to keep the militant elements among the pemudas in check, but they were more worried about the fact that the lack of progress in diplomacy was providing increasing support for their strongest political rivals.

Initially they considered Trotskyist leader Tan Malaka and his followers as their prime competitors.

By skillfully organizing local alliances Tan Malaka had by now created an impressive coalition force of 141 local organizations that had joined forces as a new Unified Front, encompassing elements from the whole political spectrum.

Malaka and his followers opposed diplomatic settlements and were content to wait out for war in Europe to end

. While Sukarno might have personally agreed with this approach, he was much more willing to wait a little longer and appear more diplomatic to create better relations to postwar Allies.

At this time Sukarno and Hatta were also increasingly worried about the growing power of Sekarmadji Maridjan Kartosuwirjo and his Darul Islam-movement that was based on the region of Garut in West Java.

Demanding that NEI should be replaced by an unified Negara Islam Indonesia, an Islamic state organized according to the shari’a law this movement was initially dismissed as a small group of fanatics without wider support. Sukarno would come to regret this initial overconfidence later on.

Kartosuwirjo was an Islamic mystic and a guerrilla leader with ambitious goals for the future of his homeland.

Due their own problems all sides were thus now surprisingly willing to give up their earlier defiance and seek a common ground. Separate British-Dutch and British-

Indonesian negotiations had been given increased importance from London as it became more and more clear that the conflict in Europe would end into a negotiated truce rather soon.

The Dutch delegation led by van Mook entered to the negotiations with a proposal where a transitional Commonwealth of Indonesia would be recognized within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, after which the parties would decide their future relationship.

The Sjahrir government replied by a demand of immediate diplomatic recognition of the Republic as a precondition of future negotiations.

As the Unified Front was in the meantime trying to unseat Sjahrir and lobbied for outright independence without further negotiations, the British who were initially prepared to dismiss the Indonesian precondition as untenable gave in, and pressured van Mook to accept and come up with a new plan.

February,10th.1946

The Linggajati Agreement was a key political accord in the struggle of Indonesia for Independence. When the Republic of Indonesia proclaimed its independence on August 17, 1945, right after Japanese surrender to the Allies, Colonialist Government of Dutch tried to regain control of the former East Indies by sending more troops to attack Indonesian strongholds. It was noticed that between 1945 and 1949 they undertook two military actions.

In this regard, the freedom fight continued and Dutch military aggressions met with solid resistance from Indonesian troops. Along with military action, the young Republic of Indonesian conducted also a diplomatic offensive against the Dutch. Indonesia raised the Dutch’s invasion to the United Nations and pushed the Dutch Government to negotiate.

In the United Nations, sponsored by the Soviet Unions, the question of Indonesia was discussed in the Security Council.

Then on February 10, 1946,

the first official meeting of Indonesian and Dutch representatives took place under the chairmanship of Sir Archibald Clark Kerr.

In terms of negotiation, with the good offices of Lord Killearn of Great Britain, Indonesian and Dutch representatives met at Linggarjati in West Java

28th of February 1946:

The British presented the new Dutch counterproposal to Indonesian delegation on 28th of February 1946:

it envisaged recognition of “an Indonesian republic on Java that would remain part of a federal Indonesian state, which was, in turn, a constituent part of the Kingdom of Netherlands.”

Indonesian counterproposal accepted part of the proposed terms, but insisted that Sumatra would have to be included to the territory of the Republic so that the new state could become economically viable, and that the rest of the territories would have to have subordinate status within the new state.

Additionally they insisted that any treaty would have to be enacted between equal sovereign states rather than between former colony and a government representing the old metropolitan regime.

When van Mook once again wired the latest development to London, he went to great lengths to persuade his enraged colleagues that this was indeed “take it or leave it”-offer they had no effective power to alter.

The new Attlee Government in Britain wanted to use the impending withdrawal of their troops to finally brownbeat the uppity Dutch, in the meantime ensuring that both sides came to agreement by pressuring the Indonesians into accepting the Republic as a constituent part of the Kingdom and the Dutch to include Sumatra as a part of the Republic.

The original Padang Tax office letter with hoemade paper.cover and letter send by courier.

Sjahrir had been a leading figure in the independence movement in the 1930s, and had spent time in the Boven Digul concentration camp. He organized the governments of the new Republic in 1945-1947, and spent a great deal of energy in negotiations with the Dutch.To some, Sjahrir was a respectable voice of moderation with an educated, Western outlook on things.

In his time, he was criticized both by Communists and by Army nationalists for being allegedly “pro-Dutch”. (Among other things, Sjahrir had married a Dutch woman when he was a young student in the Netherlands.) Conversely, Sjahrir was a critic of those who he felt had worked too closely with the Japanese, implicitly criticizing Sukarno as well.

The OVW battalion 1-8 RI is derived from the Interior Forces of Region 6 (Veluwe) and Region 5 (Achterhoek). After the training the battalion under the command of the 21st Army Group in Germany for monitoring tasks. Far as it did not. Through England, where the battalion was equipped with the necessary equipment, the battalion went to India. As the commander of the Southeast Asia Command (SEAC), the Admiral Mountbatten, from November 2, 1945 a landing ban on Java and Sumatra for Dutch troops had set was migrated to Malaya. This ban was lifted in March 1946. Shortly after arrival at Batavia on 12 March 1946 the battalion moved to Mr.. Cornelis. After about one week began posting the battalion to take over the British Indian Gurkhas in the sector Klender.

Control by 1-8 at RI station Klender infiltration Source: Guys act (J 279-10)

Through daily patrols and the surrounding villages to purify calm was again somewhat in this area. On 7 June the battalion took part in a cleansing action in relation brigade in the area between Klender and Pondok Gedeh. Four days later the battalion occupied Bekasi and posts were set up to Krandji, and Tjakoeng Oedjoengmenteng. In July the battalion to the area around Tangerang. On November 24 the battalion departed, after being relieved by elements of the “7 December Division”, to Padang on Sumatra middle. There the battalion deployed to guard barracks and city patrols and provided the guards at important buildings and objects such as the hospital, the fuel storage and the prison. Soon began the purification of several villages such as in Padang, Jawa and Baharoe Dalam. As a result there was an improvement in December, and it was a lot calmer and safer in the city. Gradually the “Haantjes” will henceforth be applied to items on the edge and outside Padang.

During the first police action began the battalion on the night of 20 on July 21, 1947 with the arrest of subversives and members of the NRA city police. The NRA’s managed buildings and institutions were also occupied and taken over. Also, the battalion went on to Boengoesbaai south of Padang. In the further course of action the battalion remained in reserve and was used wherever necessary. This was just the case with Loeboek Aloeng, north of Padang on Aug. 4 with an RJ-occupied to the constant threat of infiltration from the north to counter. In October 1947 the battalion took the items to include Loeboek Boeaja, Baringin, Loeboek Aloeng and Pasar Oesang about 1 RJ-northwest of Padang. Here the battalion remained until repatriation.

On 14th of March

the final rounds of Indonesian-Dutch negotiations finally brought the two sides into final agreement in the resort of Linggadjati.

The de facto authority of the Republic if Indonesia over Java, Madura and Sumatra was recognized, and the governments of the Repulic and the Netherlands agreed to cooperate in the establishment of “a sovereign democratic state on the basis of a federation called the United States of Indonesia.”

Once again the devil was in the details, since the Indonesian inclusion of word “sovereign” had effectively undermined the earlier Dutch proposal of a Netherlands-Indonesian Union headed by the Queen of the Netherlands.

The agreement was initialled on the same day, but remained subject to ratification by Republican parliament. On a wider scale it was clear that the military situation in the region was deteriorating, with Indonesian and Dutch politicians finding it hard to control their armed forces and commanders in the field as the British troops were being pulled out.

Tan Malaka was temporarily outmanouvred by strong-hand tactics of Sukarno, but he was still far too popular political figure to just disappear without a trace, and was merely temporarily imprisoned.

Within the Republic, the government hastily started to promote the merits of the agreement. Hatta described it as a springboard for the next phase in the campaign to create a sovereign Indonesian republic that would control the entire Dutch East Indies.

This failed to dampen all opposition, but Sukarno soon went ahead and promptly ordered Tan Malaka and other top leaders of the Unified Front to be arrested and simultaneously extented the parliamentary representation of the Republic to include all areas of NEI by immediately appointing new temporary governors for Borneo and the Great East. In practice and as a sign of things to come, these new representatives were all residents of Java and strong supporters of Sukarno.

The result was an assured pro-agreement majority and a clear signal that Sukarno would be both willing to play rough, and that he would not be content with a final agreement confining the Republic on Java and Sumarta. Both parties signed the basic terms of the Linggadjati Agreement on 25th of March 1946, three days after the official end of WWII.

Yet even before this the Dutch exiles had been doing the best they could to give them some kind of an alternative power base in NEI after the peace in Europe had left them effectively without homeland and future. In practice they had taken steps to create other “states” to act as counterweights to the Republic within the proposed USI.

But while the Dutch navy continued to blockade the ports of the Republic and KNIL sought to bolster its ranks by any means necessary, van Mook was quick to take contact to Sjahrir and propose that the next step in implementing the Linggadjati Agreement would be the formation of an interim federal government, including representatives from the Republic, other “Indonesian states” and from the crown.

A Council of Foreign Affairs would be constructed on a similar manner, and a Directorate of Internal Security would have to be set up so that a new joint Indonesian-Dutch gendarmerie could start to maintain law and order across the Indonesian archipelago.

In this situation the Dutch government-in-exile theoretized that they currently had four possible courses of action.
1.) Implement the agreement in full by conceding total control of Java, Sumatra and Madura to the nationalists.
2.) Try to persuade the the Republican government that a United States of Indonesia would best fulfil their nationalist aims.
3.) The third promoted option, use of armed force to crush the Republic, was quickly ruled out as military unfeasible and politically suicidal.

4.) and the final option was to surrender the entire problem for outside settlement before an outbreak of full-scale civil war. Even though the first option represented major political and military “defeat” and was still unacceptable to conservative members of the government, it was soon concluded that the second option was equally unlikely to find any real support among Republican leadership and that the Dutch simply lacked power to implement the third.

Republican armed forces were steadily gaining strength, while the Dutch government was increasingly hard-pressed to provide supplies and funding for KNIL.

Luckily for the Dutch, the American response to the ongoing crisis in the Dutch East Indies changed dramatically after the Zürich Accord was signed.

Faced with the possibility of an all-out war and total breakup of Netherland East Indies, the Americans abandoned their policy of neutrality in the dispute as a part of the postwar foreign policy reform initiated by President Truman.

On a wider scale traditional US anticolonianism was now tempered and modified by new-found desire to defend and promote the American core values of free markets, democracy and individualism through the globe outside the new German sphere of interest.

In this respect it is understandable that the officials of State Department regarded that the Linggadjati Agreement was a godsent – a negotiated settlement between a former colonial power and an indigenous independence movement – and the Americans were keen to make it work in practice as well.

In concert with London they demanded modifications to the agreement to make the details more acceptable for Republic, and most importantly offered financial aid to assist Indonesia’s economic rehabilitation.

The State Department was thus more or less forcing the hand of the Dutch exiles. British government, in turn, was quick to state that they were more than willing to act as a neutral arbiter in the situation and made and offer of good offices to both parties. Based on this the UN Comittee of Good Offices (UNCGO) was organized within the recently established new world organization to settle the Indonesian question.

Each party in the conflict nominated one member and these two nominated the third. The Dutch nominated Belgium (Belgian government-in-exile to be more precise), the Republic nominated Australia and these two then brought in the USA.

For Indonesian nationalists this high-profile diplomacy provided further boost to their profile and local prestige. The Republic was recognized as a party to the international dispute among the former Allies in the UN, and its representatives led by Sjahrir represented their state in the ensuing debates. The only drawback for them was the fact that representatives from Dutch-propped Indonesian state of South Moluccas were also brought in.

The UNCGO arrived on Jakarta on May 1946, after a further Security Council resolution bolstered the official ceasefire that had been declared between KNIL and Indonesian armed factions as a part of Linggadjati Agreement,

but had since then been broken several times on local by both sides. Soon it was agreed that the following negotiations should take place at a neutral venue, and USS Renville soon sailed to the region from Okinawa. Led by Frank Porter Graham, UNCGO devised a new set of proposals

and increased State Department frustration to the unrealistic attitudes of Dutch government made the US to wield a big stick: in “strong informal representations” on the Dutch Embassy in Washington it was made clear that unless Graham’s proposals and political program would be accepted and implemented in full, the promised economic help for Dutch government would never materialize.

On 17 March 1946,Tan Malaka and other struggle leaders were arrested – according to recent Indonesian writing – by Republican forces on the orders of Sukarno. In the same month, the local chairman of the communist party (PKI) was also arrested.

Sjahrir and Sjarifuddin pull their followers out of Persatuan Perjuangan, arrest Tan Malaka and others.

Tan Malaka is held in jail until September 1948.

Sjahrir secretly agrees with Dutch to negotiate for Republican control of Java, Madura and Sumatra only, in a political union with the Netherlands, Curaçao and Surinam.

Amir Sjarifuddin had been involved in the movements for Indonesian independence since the late 1930s.

During World War II, he led a small underground resistance against the Japanese occupation. He served with Sutan Sjahrir in several early governments of the Republic.

Just before the “Madiun incident” of September 1948, he revealed that he had been a secret member of the PKI for some time.

After the failed Communist revolt at Madiun, he was captured and executed by the military

Although one might argue that this behind-the-scenes blackmailing represented a major departure from the principles of “good offices”, the USA succesfully brokered a settlement that was signed on the Renville by both sides on 17th of July 1946.

In essense the Renville Agreement provided a framework for the two sides to achieve more pernament solution to the Indonesian question in the future.

The principles of the agreement gave official recognition to the Dutch-installed federal structure, but demanded local plebiscites and a strict timetable for post-election final settlement of the future status of Indonesian statehood six months later.

Fake CTO Java revolutionary cover in 1946

Repoeblik Java

Initially Japanese occupation cards were used without Republican overprints. In these cases the date of the cancel determines whether the card was used during the occupation or thereafter. Subsequently Japanese occupation cards were overprinted with Republik Indonesia and a new value of 5 sen.

The first postcards designed by the Republik appeared in 1946. Towarsds the end of 1949 there followed a few local emergency issues.

Original postcard

Compare with below postacrd

Republik Sumatra

As was the case on Java, initially Japanese occupation cards were used without Republican overprints. By then the tariff had doubled and we see cards with additional franking. Cards were also marked with a round postage paid mark with in the centre a T, symbol of the Japanese postal service.

Meanwhile the political situation in the region kept developing. A key former Communist leader, Musso, a leader of the failed coup of 1927 returned from USSR on 11th of August and was received by Sukarno.

Musso soon reorganized the ranks of the reformed and expanded PKI, what now included both labor and socialist parties and absorbed many local forces that had been previously aligned to Unified Front of Tan Malaka.

The new PKI completely rejected all the existing treaties as illegal Western meddling of internal affairs of free and sovereign Republic of Indonesia, and worked towards the overthrow of the existing Hatta regime as a reactionary clique of Japanese Quislings that was selling out the Indonesian revolution to their former Dutch oppressors.

Musso – a wild card from Moscow.

When the local parliamentery elections on federal level took place on January 1947, the interim federal political system promoted van Mook had been operational for half a year.

It was based on constituent states that shared the same artificial character, being almost without exceptions nothing but spontaneous creations of Indonesians themselves.

The small minority of Indonesians whose positive support the Dutch were able to enlist in the fifteen “states” (negaras) and “autonomous areas” (daerah instimewas) which they established consisted largely of groups who had had privileged positions in the former structure of NEI (Ambonese Christian population of South Moluccans being the prime example), elements of the local aristocracies who feaded loss of their political and economic positions under Republican rule and who were totally dependant on Dutch for military support, and political opportunists dissatisfied with their future prospects under the Republic.

Of the thirteen federal units created by the Dutch, four were states, while nine had the status of autonomous territories.

Those in the second category were usually much smaller in population than those in the first – or in some case had been more recently created.

The theory upon which this distinction was officially based was that the less populous of these territories (and usually the most backward with respect to economic development) were fit to receive a lesser degree of self-government than the larger, and were to be more dependent upon the central government of the federation.

The six states with approximate populations they claimed to administer (considerable areas often beign under Republican control) were East Indonesia (comprising Celebes and Lesser Sundas) 10 000 000, Madura 1 800 000, South Moluccans 350 000, East Sumatra 1 700 000, and South Sumatra 1 500 000.

The autonomous areas ranged in population from about 100 000 (Riouw) to about 1 000 000 (West Borneo): the other six autonomous areas being Bandjar, Great Dayak, Southeast Borneo, East Borneo, Bangka and Billiton.

Generally the grand plan in the federal project of van Mook and other Dutch colonial officials had aimed to retain at least some level of indirect control over former territories of NEI by pitting the locals against one another by supporting the alledged demands of local autonomy and federalism.

After the first local elections were held, the Dutch officials knew that they had suffered their final loss.

Pro-Republican candidates had secured strong majorities in all local parliaments except in South Moluccans. It was no wonder.

The new states were simply too artificial, and the little initial support the new federal states of the USI might have had among the local population quickly faded when their political realities as colonial puppet states became obvious.

As an example the new states were initially given theoretical responsibility of for finance, justice, general economic affairs, police, education, information, health, social affairs, industry, shipping, forestry, agrarian affairs and irrigation, but the exercise of most of these powers was initially vitiated by the numerous general and particular powers specifically reserved to the federal interim government that was based in Batavia and was run by NICA bureaucracy administered by former NIE colonial officials. Unwilling to give up the little power it had managed to retain, the Dutch colonialism had thus doomed itself to vanish entirely from political life of Indonesia.

In New York has until (arrive) 68 Chinese people from the area Krawang, that by paying oewang (money) ransom f 1000, – per head has been able to (can) buy the privilege Aken (to) be the area under the control of States ( Djakarta).

Tionghoa residents, who have not been able atu have no money to pay the money Thiap (help) in the area can only wait and hope for the arrival of help. Every day they are still listening, how if there is a train came in, militias on beteriak (berkaokan): Tjina-China all down, Merdeka Bung! There Tjina not?

read more about St Sjahrir

The little known prime minister

The Jakarta Post | Life | Tue, March 10 2009, 12:26 PM

It’s official: Sjahrir (left) is shown signing Linggadjati Agreement documents in Jakarta on Nov. 15, 1946, while Dutch-appointed special commissioner general leading the negotiations, Willem Schermerhorn, looks on. Courtesy of DR Dr Rushdy Hoesein(I had ever met him and he gave me info about Dai Nippon capitulation Kalidjati-dr Iwan notes)

Surprisingly enough for a nation’s first prime minister, Sutan Sjahrir receives few mentions in Indonesia’s history book – even though his diplomatic skills were responsible for the nation being recognized by the international community.

“Sjahrir, who became prime minister at the age of 36, is little known by the public,” Sjahrir’s daughter Siti Rabyah Parvati Sjahrir said at the commemoration of the 100th anniversary of Sjahrir’s birth at Balai Agung in Jakarta on Thursday.

“Sometimes he has been misidentified as [literary critic] Sutan Takdir Alisjahbana or Sjahrir the [late] economist.”

Sjahrir was born in Padang Panjang, West Sumatra, on March 5, 1909, the son of an adviser to the Sultan of Deli. He studied in Medan and Bandung, before moving to Leiden in The Netherlands around 1929 to study law.

In Holland, he gained an appreciation for socialist principles, and joined several labor unions as he worked to support himself. He was briefly the secretary of the Indonesian Association (Perhimpunan Indonesia), an organization of Indonesian students in the Netherlands.

He returned to Indonesia in 1931 without completing his law degree, and helped set up the Indonesian National Party (PNI). Around this time, he became a close associate of future vice president Mohammad Hatta.

His nationalist activities saw him imprisoned by the Dutch in November 1934 for many years, first in Boven Digul, then on Banda. In 1941, just before the area fell to the Japanese, he was moved to Sukabumi.

At the time when Sukarno and Mohammad Hatta were compromising with the occupying Japanese forces, Sjahrir was involved in a clandestine movement that he believed would help prepare the nation for independence when the time was right.

In November 1945, then president Sukarno appointed him prime minister, a position he held until June 1947, during which time he worked on winning international recognition for the newly independent country.

Sjahrir is shown during the campaign for the 1955 general election.

Sjahrir founded the Indonesian Socialist Party in 1948, which, although small, proved to be influential in the early years after independence because of the expertise and high education levels of its leaders.

But after January 1950 Sjahrir no longer held any government positions, and his party performed poorly during the 1955 elections.

After a 1958 revolt known as PRRI or “Revolutionary Government of Indonesian Republic” in 1958, his relationship with Sukarno deteriorated, and the president banned his party two years later.

At 4 a.m. on Jan. 16, 1962, Sjahrir was arrested at his house in Jakarta. Three months later, he was sent with other political prisoners to Madiun, Central Java, before being moved back to Jakarta in 1965.

Despite his long and fervent political career, Sjahrir was always devoted to his family — he had two children, Kriya Arsyah and Parvati. He wrote in his prison diary on June 3, 1963, “My thoughts and my memories again and again turn to home, to my children. I want them to grow up to be happier and have a better life than me. … I want them to be honest, upright and loving, and not be obsessed with titles and stars.”

Sjahrir’s daughter, Parvati, was just two years old when her father was arrested. “I had to take a train back and forth from Solo to Madiun just to meet Papa,” she recalled. “When my father was moved to Jakarta, it was not easy for my mother to get a permit letter to visit Papa.”

The imprisonment, she said, was unjust. “Ironically, after Independence, he was detained without facing trial. He was accused without verification.”

As he was ill, Sjahrir was allowed to go to Zurich, Switzerland, for treatment. He died there on April 9, 1966, “far away from the country he co-founded, from the country he dearly loved, from family members and friends”, Parvati said. “Sjahrir went to Zurich as a political prisoner and returned to his homeland as a hero.”

He was a hero for his daughter as well.

“For me, Sjahrir, Papa, was a moral character who deserves to be emulated,” she said. “He was honest, brave and consistent with what he fought for. He did not fight for his own interest or for power or wealth. He fought for the freedom and the maturity of people to be free from oppression and the exploitation of others.”
